PS and Digital Painting
Tomasz, I just saw the trailer of the movie on YouTube. Is it already available as a DVD? The sketches are very interesting. And I saw your character there too, but his face was not visible. I think you have done a great job. My only comments is about his face. Maybe it should have less glow and less highlights, otherwise it looks as if there is a layer of plastic covering it?! What do you think? |

Re: PS and Digital Painting
Thanks Joey for looking at that one.I would like to make this more threatening but it should be a little boy face, no more then 15 years old with not very scary face, just natural one. Need more practice with drawing faces to get every time what I want. What do you think to be change in his face to get this little boy face look? |

Re: PS and Digital Painting
Daniel, The film will be ready in 2012.Animation is make by T.Baginski and his Platige Image -"Cathedral","Fallen Art". Yeah,face...I should been make that one not visible but I ask for trouble and here we have. I try more shadows then.On my pc it looks totally different then on my laptop.the black is not really black.To much bright?I remove as well the layer I made front of him, very low opacity background colour.I think its work behind the object but not at the front.This make this boy brighter as well and more glow.Thanks. |

Re: PS and Digital Painting
I also like Tomasz. I'm sure Joey will respond later, but for children they have big heads (I mean the top part) relative to body, small neck and large eyes relative to face, small mouth until second teeth burst out. Just a thought, if not already have a look at Japanese manga genera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga . Maybe for the swastika, maybe you could blend into the wall more e.g. using >Blending Mode on the layer and/or change the layer style. Some Gaussian noise would help, i.e. emulate the same as the rest of the photo of the wall. |

Re: PS and Digital Painting
Hi Sutex, Interesting image. For me the neck is far to large, Sylvester Stalone size. Also the right hand is not the same size as the left and they both seem too big for a child. Also the knees look as if they belong to an 80-year-old but the I don't know the character you are referring to so I may be entirely wrong... Overall I can see a lot of excellent work has gone into this. |

Hi Sophie, I think I can make neck and hands bit smaller this won't be a problem and legs skin more smooth - but I want to keep some dirt and scratches effect as well on it.Thanks for looking Sophie. |
